public class SimpleBindingProcessorAdapterGenerator
extends com.google.gwt.core.ext.Generator

Generator for SimpleBindingProcessorAdapters.

SimpleBindingProcessor requires clients to supply an explicit SimpleBindingProcessorAdapter interface through which to execute binding calls. In most cases, clients can use SimpleBindingProcessorAdapterGenerator to automatically generate this as a secondary class. First, they modify their .gwt.xml file to include...

<generate-with class="org.metawidget.gwt.generator.widgetprocessor.binding.simple.SimpleBindingProcessorAdapterGenerator"> <when-type-assignable class="com.foo.BusinessClass"/> </generate-with>

...then they call...

SimpleBindingProcessorConfig config = SimpleBindingProcessorConfig(); config.setAdapter(BusinessClass.class, (SimpleBindingProcessorAdapter<BusinessClass>) GWT.create( BusinessClass.class )); metawidget.addWidgetProcessor(new SimpleBindingProcessor(config));

This generator statically generates code for all levels of all possible properties (eg. contact.address.street), including subtypes of properties. Because this could quickly become very large, we impose the following restriction:

• only public getters/setters are recognised (not public member fields)
• only properties whose return type is in the same package, or a subpackage, of the parent type are traversed into

Clients needing to avoid such restrictions must write their own class that implements SimpleBindingProcessorAdapter or, more drastically, their own binding implementation that implements PropertyBinding.
